Bill > S1251

This bill amends existing Idaho law to clarify and expand the duties of the Attorney General, specifically granting the Attorney General the power to seek court orders for declaratory and injunctive relief against any individual or entity that violates an Idaho statute creating a legal duty or prohibition, even if the statute doesn't explicitly provide a civil cause of action for the state to enforce it. This means the Attorney General can pursue legal action to stop violations of state law when no other specific legal avenue for the state exists, and any injunction granted will be sufficient to prevent further violations. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
